| Antonio Isac (1788–1828) | ||||||||||
| Born in Parma to French parents, Isac, an engraver, showed an early passion for the fine arts, prompting his parents to have him study drawing under Biagio Martini. During this time, he met fellow artist Paolo Toschi, and they formed a lasting friendship. In 1809, the two travelled to Paris, where they studied under Charles-Clément Bervic. Upon returning to Parma, they established a company and school of engravers, which quickly gained prestige and authority. Together, they collaborated on various works, particularly portraits. Isac's recognition was more local and within professional circles, rather than internationally widespread, though he was placed among respected figures in the Neoclassical engraving tradition. Despite his frail constitution, he continued his work until his death in Parma. | ||||||||||
